'X' generally refers to a period of adolescence for some members of the Amish, a subsect of the Anabaptist Christian movement, that begins around the age of sixteen and ends when a youth chooses baptism within the Amish church or instead leaves the community. Not all Amish use this term (it does not occur in Hostetler's extended discussion of adolescence), but in sects that do, Amish elders generally view this as a time for courtship and finding a spouse. 'X', literally "running around" in Pennsylvania German, is a contraction of __1__, an adverb meaning "around" and the verb __2__, meaning "to run" or "to skip". The word 'X' is closely related to the standard German word herumspringen for 'jumping around'. 'X' is the subject of the film documentary 'Devil's Playground', which was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary as well as three Emmy Awards.

'X'(born 1 February 1956) is a British adventurer and author. Born in Whitton, London, after a tumultuous and free spirited adolescence, in which she replaced formal education with travel and adventure, she joined forces with writer Gerald Kingsland, as an experiment in isolation, for a year on the isolated island of Tuin, in the Torres Strait between New Guinea and Australia. On her return in 1983, she had her experiences published in the book 'Y'. Prior to writing 'Y', she had been employed as a charlady, monkey keeper, waitress, stone mason's mate, life model, pastry cook, and concierge. She had first run away from school at twelve and had no full-time schooling after her thirteenth birthday. Due to the interest raised by her first book she wrote about her life before 'Y' in the book 'Z'.
